Two seemingly high contenders are the Genographic Project and the service through Ancestry.com. Have you heard anything about the difference in quality? We know that ancestry allows you to trace through to potential relatives. However, I believe you can also transfer results from another source. With your experience, do you have any recommendations?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641680.post-73866228060725785032009-03-04T08:51:00.000-05:002009-03-04T08:51:00.000-05:00e is no limit to how many groups you can join at d...e is no limit to how many groups you can join at dna.ancestry.com. You can also create as many groups as you want. You will have the option to manually import your McGinnis haplotype (marker values)from FamilyTreeDNA.com to dna.ancestry.com and join the groups there.Brian DeGraafhttp://groups.ancestry.com/site/ydna/publicnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641680.post-72683006139372892372009-03-03T07:55:00.000-05:002009-03-03T07:55:00.000-05:00I wouldn't be so hesitant to join the McGinnis gro...I wouldn't be so hesitant to join the McGinnis group from No. Ireland (Ulster) who settled in America. There is of course a decent chance you are related, possibly branching away in the 1600s in the 1700s, and this is precisely what the DNA tests are good at discerning. They can usually tell with a good degree of certainty ranges in which two people's ancestors branched out.Joshua Claybournhttp://www.claybourn.orgnoreply@blogger.com
